Abstract

Various embodiments provide methods, apparatus, and systems for generating P2P network schemes. In an exemplary method for generating a P2P network scheme, predicted data can be obtained and used to determine a bandwidth managing scheme of the predicted data, based on a corresponding relationship between predicted data and bandwidth managing schemes. The bandwidth managing scheme can be executed and be used to automatically determine schemes, e.g., for pushing resources into the P2P network.

1. A method for generating a peer-to-peer (P2P) network scheme comprising:
obtaining predicted data, including:
obtaining network data from a particular database used to store data, wherein the network data includes downloading activities of a resource on a HTTP server that provides the resource for downloading, and downloading activities of the resource in a P2P network; and
determining the predicted data by averaging data in a characteristic interval of a designated type of data from the network data;

determining a bandwidth managing scheme of the predicted data based on a corresponding relationship between predicted data and bandwidth managing schemes, wherein the bandwidth managing schemes are configured for adjusting a downloading bandwidth of the HTTP server allocated for the resource and adjusting a number of nodes in the P2P network being pushed with the resource according to the predicted data; and
